Northwest wheat grower Mike Miller shares that stripe rust,though present in some fields, wasn’t as big of issue as last year.

Miller: “Airplanes are spraying rust. We are about done with that I think. The wheat is about far ahead that it is what it is now. It wasn’t quite the panic that it was last year but I think that guys were better prepared and the severity wasn’t there from that standpoint.”

Miller says the dryland wheat harvest looks to be right about on time.

Miller: “I think we will be right on schedule. West of Ritzville we start about the 18 to 20 of July and it looks like we are about a month away. We’ll be right there.”
